Enjoyed this episode. Great job on carrying the torch @Danny Knowles. Confirmed my belief (via @npub1hk0t...20pf) that an #OrangeParty is needed in the US, whether you agree or not, whether you know or not. Before these geriatric parasitic lawmakers die off and a new cohort of lawmakers comes in, the Bitcoin community needs to come together enough to create a proper political party, and start buying these lawmakers off just like every other industry has for at least two generations. Just hodling coins isnt going to do shit but enable us to create a temporary bubble to live inside of while the forest burns around us. The bubble will become a self imposed prison. I recall the Cantor Fitzgerald guy at BTC 2024 making a comment about why bitcoiners have not already started buying politicians off, and how cheap it is to do it. For example, $1M USD can get a known lawmaker like Ted Cruz to say whatever the fuck you want him to say. $50K USD can get notable lesser known ones to say whatever we want them to say. Wishing you all a great day.
Top work guys!! Love what you are all doing!! Something I’ve been noticing lately in the Bitcoin space is the word β€œconvince.” There often seems to be an instinct to convince others to join β€” to help them see what we see. And I understand why; when something changes your life, you naturally want to share it. At the same time, most of us don’t enjoy feeling like we’re being told we’re wrong or that we need to be shown the β€œright” path. For many, Bitcoin didn’t arrive through persuasion β€” it arrived through curiosity, timing, experience, or personal necessity. I know for myself, Bitcoin didn’t come through being convinced. It came in its own way, at the right moment. There’s a quiet confidence in allowing truth to reveal itself, without force. Sometimes the most powerful stance is simply to live it, breathe it, and let others feel the freedom and clarity that radiates from alignment β€” not persuasion. Bitcoin speaks for itself. Let it do the talking. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a cup of cacao. β˜•βš‘οΈ
